how to learn a language?

a story about kenneth


He had a motivation for learning language because he sought to find laws and structures that could be applied to all languages. He said his tip for anyone to learn a language is talk to a native speaker. Start with parts od the body,then common objects. In his learning way, after learning the nouns, and then start to make sentences and get attuned to the sounds. The most important thing for learning a language is a determination. Because he thought his interest in language was just starting.





a story about Cami



She told us learning a language need tools,time and good methods. In her case,she brought the popular textbook and the accompanying audio-cassette tapes.And the she took a lot of time to study although she was working at the time. A familiar example to us is read and listen to the cassettes on the train or while jogging. When cami learned kanji,she used the books provided explanation in one language of another language expressions.On the next step,when she was feeling more confident about the grammar,she started talking more and started listening to the news on TV, using magazine for studing.
